Singular PR66 Deep Cameo
1870 Seated Dollar

1870 $1 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. The 1870 proof Seated dollar is a curious issue. There were 1,000 pieces struck, but apparently nowhere near that many were sold with the remainder being melted at year's end, making it scarcer than several of the preceding Seated dollar issues even though its mintage is higher. The fields on this piece shimmer with bright, mirror-like intensity and show virtually no impairments, even under close examination. Set against the fields are the frosted white devices which sparkle against the illimitable depths of reflectivity. Mostly untoned with just a bit of haziness on the obverse. As a future identifier, a small area of planchet roughness (as struck) is seen near the border at Liberty's foot. Population: 1 in 66 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (11/10).
